Riverside Sounds - Early James

Alabama's native son, Early James, released his sophomore album, Strange Time to Be Alive, on August 19, 2022. The lyrical wordsmith conjures the ghosts of great southern gothic writers from Eudora Welty to William Faulkner, while channeling the haunted spirits of Tom Waits and Townes Van Zandt. The album evokes a timeless amalgam of forsaken blues, wistful folk, and Tin Pan Alley crooning, anchored by the singer’s unmistakable voice that sways from gravel-filled shouts to pained, forlorn whispers – and songs that tread in the waters of darkly themed broken hearts, with the wry humor of the sad clown.

Riverside Sounds is Roswell’s longest running, free outdoor concert series held at Roswell Riverside Park (575 Riverside Rd.). Concerts are held every fourth Saturday of the month from April through September from 7 p.m. – 9 p.m.
